A food critic who described mince on toast as a ‘British comfort classic’ was met with criticism on social media from many people who claim they’ve never even tried the dish.

The declaration came from online food publication Eater, who tweeted about the latest episode of their video series The Meat Show. In the episode, host Nick Solares – who’s actually British but based in New York – visits London restaurant Quality Chop House, where he had the meal in question.
